ReplyDeleteIt's interesting what officers of the old Indian Civil and Political Services got up to. Many had their passions that often were linked to their duties and benefitted those they ruled or influenced. One was a maniac for canals, another for bridges, a third for importing better agricultural techniques, a fourth for archaeology, and so one. Fascinating stuff.
